Numbers

While not present in the main fonts (these just use arabic numerals along the connecting line), we hypothesize this is how Phyrexian should properly represent numbers along their text.

Word Roots

+

+ In general, words in Phyrexian are short and formed of mostly consonants, with vowels and prefixes changing to adapt the meaning of a root word. + Words roots begin and end with a consonant, generally in the format CVCC (C for consonant and V for vowel), but also CCVCC in some cases. +

Names

+

+ Native Phyrexian names are similar to their spelling in English, but often drop vowels in their spelling. + It's unclear wether the vowels should be inferred or if we should assume that, in universe, the vowels were introduced into the English spelling to make them more "human readable". +

+

+ When adapting names and foreign words to Phyrexian, we try to replicate the word's phonemes with the Phyrexian letters. + The rule for consonants at the beginning and end is mantained, and glottal stops are used to enforce it. +
